The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it. But the way those atoms are put together. - Carl Sagan, Cosmos.

I like to listen to stuff while I work. I tend to enjoy audiobooks or movies. For movies or documentaries, the best kinds are of the sort that the ideas are captivating enough that I can mostly just listen and still be engaged.

perfectly expressed by Bouguereau: “And can there be such
anguish compared to that felt by the artist who sees the realization of
his dream compromised by weak execution?” - William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
